Adventures in cooking the Capture of Betty Crocker
More adventures in cooking!
Hey true believers! The Kartoffel back in the kitchen to whip up some more alchemic madness! Todays menu consists of the following:
Low carb bread part deux! Electric boogalo!
Root Beer seltzer in a multi part mix
First on to the bread. I am working on doubling the yield of this mystical loaf of bread like material. I did the basics of doubleing the recipe, plus changing the mixing order some as well. Besides using the same amount of yeast as last time, i am using a ready egg mix instead of straight eggs, put all the liquids together at once and let it sit a bit to get the yeast kick started. And finally I added a teaspoon of baking powder to fluff it up some more. So folks if you hear an explosion late at night and see what looks like a giant bread like mass arising above the city, run for your lives! the loaf lives! And the blob has nothing on this monster!
And now for the Root beer antics. I am doing this particular critter in a multitude of components suitable to any mad scientist in his lab of madness. I bought several concentrates online and now have the ingredients to make my own torani like syrups. The root beer being the first experiment in this direction. I went for a straight sugar free mix, perhaps a bit heavy on the sweetener since i combined about a cup of splenda, and 3 blasts of stevia clear which claims to be equivalent to a cup a piece. I went for making a normal pure water style seltzer for usage in combination with the root beer syrup. We will see how this goes. but I think it has a great potential for both general soda style usage as well as some potentially interesting and tasty alchoholic mixtures as well. I still need to experiment, but I ran across some interesting concepts on the web. While an alcohol can't really absorb CO2 like a soda, it can obsorb NO2(I think it is an O2). Which is nitrous oxide, the stuff used at the dentists and in whip cream bottles and whip cream chargers. So There might be a way to make a high octane root beer float in the near future. I already have a recipe for a Pans Galactic Gargle Blaster (of Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy fame). Which I will leave to a later experiment. Well back to the lab lads and lasses. Ignore the explosions and shaking of the earth.
